Stage one rotational <\/b>loadshedding is currently being implemented.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It will continue until 10pm tonight to preserve emergency resources. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Customers are reminded to treat all electrical points as live during loadshedding.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Customers are advised to check their loadshedding schedules on the Eskom website or on their municipal website (www.ekurhuleni.org.za<\/a>), and to plan on the assumption that loadshedding will take place. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Eskom appeals to residents and businesses to use electricity sparingly during this period. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Please switch off geysers, as well as all non-essential lighting and electricity appliances to assist in reducing demand.\u00a0 <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
For Eskom customers, these schedules are available on the Eskom website (http:\/\/loadshedding.eskom.co.za<\/span><\/a>).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Eskom customers can also contact the customer contact centre on 0860 037\u00a0566.<\/div>\n
Customers should note that some municipalities take longer to restore load once loadshedding is terminated.\u00a0 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is to allow for switching off the network in a way that will not damage the power system. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If customers experience outages for longer periods than announced, please contact your supplier (Eskom or your municipality) as this may be a localised power outage.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
